Completed My Visit to Cambridgeshire County Record Office - will do simple Look-ups

[Lady Di]

Lady Di,
I looked up that MOULE marriage in the Willingham registers this morning too:
03-07-1755: Adams MOULE of Whaddon, yeoman, to Mary LIVETT spinster otp. by licence.  Witnesses: Mary Bright and Wm Adams.
That's all there was...
Keith

Thank you very much Keith.
Would you have noticed if the Mary Bright/Wm Adams were repeat witnesses (ie on other marriages) or specifically just this one? I've been trying to find an Adams connection and this just might be it 

Wooppee! - off to find Mary Livett's parents 

Thank you - I appreciate the time and effort you go to, to help us all go backwards 

[Keith Sherwood]

Di,
Afraid I didn't notice whether those 2 witnesses's names cropped up again.  I usually check whether a name repeating itself as a witness (i.e. a parish clerk or some such dutifully roped in to witness a marriage) is irrelevant as a family connection to the bride and groom.  This wasn't the case with these two, and so I reckon they were members or close friends of the MOULE/ADAMS family.
I could have looked up the LIVETT ancestry, if only you'd asked!
Keith

[Lady Di]

Hi Keith,
Thanks for the positive info concerning the witnesses - I'll see if I can find anything (first) about William Adams (before pestering you AGAIN  )

I could have looked up the LIVETT ancestry, if only you'd asked!
Keith

Oh Darn it - why didn't I think of that 
Actually, if I remember correctly - the last time I looked at the IGI there wasn't a Mary Livett born/bp at Willingham but I need to look at a map and see what is the closest - BUT if you happen to be passing and are bored  I certainly wouldn't say no to a bit of assistance 

You are the best

Thanks
Di

[Keith Sherwood]

Di,
LIVETT's of Willingham are already in my red notebook for a look next visit...

[Lady Di]

Thank you,

Oh - what would I ever do without you

PS - You were right - the photo wasn't mine

Now, Enrique, where was I?
Before I get going, I should say that for some reason the WILMOT's were indexed in three separate places, so please excuse me if I omit details at first, then come back to them.  This lot should take some sorting out, by the way!
That marriage, first of all: 07-06-1789: John WILMOT to Ann MILLER (BT botp) Witnesses: Joseph Wilmot and Mary Smith (x)
Baptisms: 05-04-1790: Samuel Squier WILMENT (or WILLIMOTT (BT WILMOTS)) son of John and Ann. (Entered twice, as were all the entries for 1790/91 - perhaps the vicar was hitting the Communion wine too often).
26-05-1793: Mariam WILLMOTT daughter of John and Ann
At about the same time, there were a series of WILLIMOT baptisms for a John and Mary, but no marriage entry here:
29-05-1792: John Sennitt WILLIMOTT son of John and Mary
02-01-1794: Marianne WILLIMOT d. of John and Mary
01-10-1795: Thomas WILMOT s. of John (altered from George) and Mary
22-08-1797: William WILLMOT s. of John and Mary.
17-12-1799: Charlotte WILMOT d. of John (no mother given)
Then a triple baptism on 18-07-1805: Henry WILMOTT born 15-12-1801
Charles WILMOTT born 07-03-1803; and Martha WILMOTT born 13-06-1805
all children of John and Mary.
There was also a Banns on 24-05-1789 for R? John WILMOT and Ann MILLER botp, which I forgot to mention.
Also a burial, presumably for John and Mary's child:
27-06-1809: Henry WILMOTT aged 7
Got to go again, be back soon,
Keith

Enrique,
The WILMOT's of St Edwards Cambridge, part 2...
The earliest entries were as follows:
Burial: Ann WILLMOTT 19-08-1702
Burial: Joseph WILLMOTT 10-09-1706

Marriage: 11-10-1703: Joseph WILLMOTT and Jane GODDARD
Marriage: 05-06-1705: George COLLIN of Bowm (no idea where this is supposed to be) and Hannah WILLMOT of Wimple (I'd guess Wimpole).

There's a series of tragic baptisms followed by swift burials, with one apparently surviving child between 1728 and 1734: (But no obvious marriage prior to 1728)
23-03-1728: Thomas WILLMOTT son of Joseph and Elizabeth
09-02-1729: Joseph WILLMOTT; buried 13-02-1729
31-01-1730: Joseph WILLMOTT; buried 07-02-1730
19-12-1731: Joseph WILLMOTT; buried 28-12-1731
03-12-1732: Twins Joseph and John WILLMOTT; buried 07-12-1732
16-12-1733: Elizabeth WILLMOTT; buried 27-12-1733
18-03-1734: Joseph WILLMOTT; buried 23-03-1734
Five goes at a Joseph, and no luch at all!

Just realised that I've missed out a final baptism for John and Mary WILLIMOTT:
03-05-1807: Ann Elizabeth WILLIMOTT d. of John and Mary.
Time for a cup of tea (or something stronger) and then I'll give you a 1756 marriage, with children born; and more burials - I'm sure some of it will fit together!  There's even a grave register, telling you how far down your ancestors were laid, if you'd like that....

WILLMOTT's of Cambridge, part 3...
There's a very interesting marriage on 31-07-1756:
Between John WILLIMOTT of the parish of St Bartholemew the Great, City of London, hair merchant, bachelor and Elizabeth SENNITT spinster (BT otp) by licence.  Witnesses Jude Thory and Mary Pedley. There seem to be only 2 children baptised to this couple, plus some some WILLMOTT baptisms to other couples:
15-09-1763: John WILLIMOTT son of John and Elizabeth
02-04-1766: Thomas WILLIMOTT son of John and Elizabeth

21-01-1760: Benton Luke WILLMOT son of Thomas and Sarah
16-12-1770: John WILLIMOTT son of William and Elizabeth
01-03-1772: Elizabeth WILLIMOT d. of William and Elizabeth.
There's a burial of a John WILLIMOT infant on 03-01-1772, which could indicate that the John born to William and Elizabeth died early, whereas the John born to John and Elizabeth in 1763 perhaps survived into adulthood and was indeed the individual who married Ann MILLER in 1789...

Here now are some of the burials, in no particular order because of the strange index.  The ages given at death from 1820 or so onwards should be a big help in identifying who they were.  I think I've worked out a few myself already!
14-09-1820: Samuel WILLMOT of Red Lion Yard Bridge St Clements Passage aged 30
28-09-1838: Mary WILLIMOTT of Union Street aged 71
14-09-1843: John WILLMOTT of Corn Exchange St. aged 77
12-03-1852: Ann WILLMOTT of Corn Exchange aged 84
25-03-1852: Thomas WILLIMOTT of Market Hill aged 24
16-03-1855: John WILLIMOTT of Addenbroke Place aged 91 (in margin: in the churchyard, a communication was made previously to the burial with the Home Office)
(Anything we ought to know about this, Enrique?)
16-11-1860: William WILLIMOTT of St Andrews Hill aged 27
07-02-1862: Catherine WILLIMOTT of Barton Rd., Grantchester Parish aged 28
02-11-1863: Henry WILLIMOTT of Newnham aged 29
11-12-1863: Charles WILLIMOTT of Grantchester aged 60
30-08-1871: Charles WILMOTT of Silver Street aged 41
02-04-1877: Frederick WILLIMOTT of Covent Garden, Mill Road aged 35.

I'll take another break, then put the details from the Grave Register in a PM...
Keith
p.s. I've never found a hair merchant in my family, I'm getting quite jealous!

Hi again, Helen Couldn't find any other documents in the parish chest that might have given any more clues about why and when John and Sarah might have left this parish...
Keith

Hi Keith

Thanks very much for looking - I would have had trouble getting to Cambridge Record Office in the foreseeable future.  At least that crosses some searches off my list 

Much appreciated.

Helen
